What role does music play in your life?

Music is the most pleasurable form of connection for me.

What is your first music memory?

I don’t have a specific one but I have to give my mum credit for putting me on to many of the sounds I love today: Soul, Funk, Motown, Disco, Gospel… We lived in a house of Cher, Diana Ross, Carole King, Carly Simon, Abba (all the greats)

What is your absolute favorite song?

I Touch Myself by the Divinyls

What is the inspiration behind the playlist you created? Why did you choose these songs?

Summer is coming, that means more sun… and more FUN. I think after the year we’ve had, it’s time for us ready to fall in love again with all the things we took for granted. This playlist is an ode to that.

When would you listen to a playlist like the one you created?

With a new crush, a loved one, or when you’re enjoying some alone time 😉
